Review of Star

Star (I) (2001)
A fun ride
9 June 2001
This was pretty cool. I am impressed at how each film in this series has been able to take an entirely different spin on the car chase, considering Hollywood's been making these scenes for decades. These shorts should feel repetitive, but the films are short and each director has a very unique style. Here, Clive Owen has a good time talking about how hot Madonna is (a not-too-subtle hint by director and boyfriend Guy Ritchie reminding the audience that he gets to sleep with her) just before tossing her around like a ragdoll in the backseat of a BMW M5. The chase is very cool, although it's more about looking slick and having fun than getting away from any pursuers. And can somebody come up with a new rock song to use in movies other than Blur's "Song 2"? I'm getting tired of hearing it whenever the filmmakers want the audience to get pumped up. Anyway, check it out.
